Neck Point Nanaimo BC presented by Mike McKillican
Description
Neck Point is a destination waterfront park for Nanaimo and the region. The park is recognized as an environmentally sensitive area and is well known in the community for its historic, scenic and natural features. Additional land was aquired in 2009 and the park now provides visitors with 36 acres of a waterfront setting to explore. Visitors will find rugged rock cliffs, with pebble bay beaches, and winding trails through Garry Oak groves. The park is a great location for photographers wanting to capture the essence of Nanaimo and the west coast lifestyle.
The park is also popular with scuba divers as an access road allows for drive up diving. Divers tell tales of an impressive array of sealife off the rocky headlands at the end of the parks namesake 'neck'. There is a deep water rock wall face that is reportedly home to a friendly octopus.
The headland area in the north section of the park is a great spot to watch for Orca and Sealions and otters. During herring season the beach is awash with the row (January).

SloMo diving at Top Bridge Park, Parksville, BC
Young people were enjoying diving off a rock into the river this afternoon. Standing on the suspended bridge I took some slow motion videos of the action. I put together this series and added a soundtrack to add interest.

To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@storyful.com.
While on a recent trip fishing for tuna about 110kms (70 miles) off the coast of Vancouver Island a dorsal fin was spotted on the super calm waters. The shark showed interest in the boat for a while and hung around long enough for us to get this footage. There has been much speculation about what species it is, but it has indeed been identified as a Salmon Shark (approx 3m/10ft in length), not a great white.
Pilot whale pod off Cape Breton
Orca K.W. Pods meet & travel
We were salmon fishing when Orca pods ... all ages! .. breached and blew out air loudly!! behind us... right away we reeled in lines and followed them through Yeo rocky islets, past Douglas and into Gerald island bay, both backing onto Balenas island; and there we stopped and watched them roll and breach and blow some more... awesome! then they all submerged below the eagle nest on Gerald, rubbing on the island rocks deep below, before they left us* (about 6 boats and 4 kayaks other than ourselves salmon fishing)*....
(when they first appeared, coming from the south, they were seen chasing seals onto the shores at Yeo behind us **no casualties) we heard the chaos but missed seeing that.. it was an absolutely AWEsome day
Jos shoots video of Miz Crankypants (sans pants) at The Big Time Out 2012 (Against her will)
Young Jos was feeling a wee bit happy when he stumbled across my path yet again at The Big Time Out, and decided he wanted to play photographer. He was very insistent that he would like to use my camera to take some pictures of me and after wearing down my resistance with sheer persistence, this was one of the queasy results...
